Ebola shortlist
• Ebola virus disease (EVD), formerly known as Ebola haemorrhagicfever, is a severe, often fatal illness in humans.
• EVD outbreaks have a case fatality rate of up to 90%.• EVD outbreaks occur primarily in remote villages in Central and
West Africa, near tropical rainforests.• The virus is transmitted to people from wild animals and spreads in
the human population through human-to-human transmission.• Fruit bats of the Pteropodidae family are considered to be the
natural host of the Ebola virus. • Severely ill patients require intensive supportive care. No licensed
specific treatment or vaccine is available for use in people or animals.

UN Mission for Ebola Emergency Response (UNMEER)
Under the strategic guidance of the SG's Special Envoy, David Nabarro, and the operational direction of the SG's Special Representative, Anthony Banbury, the mission will harness the capabilities and competencies of all the relevant United Nations actors under a unified operational structure to reinforce unity of purpose, effective ground-level leadership and operational direction, in order to ensure a rapid, effective, efficient and coherent response to the crisis.UNMEER will work closely with governments and national structures in the affected countries, regional and international actors, such as the African Union (AU) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), and with Member States, the private sector and civil society.The World Health Organization (WHO) will be responsible for overall health strategy and
advice within the Mission.

PSYOPSchallenge
• Some local leaders spread rumors that "the white people" were conducting experiments, infecting Sierra Leonians or cutting off people's limbs.
• Doctors Without Borders warned that widespread belief that Ebola does not exist threatened to spread the disease regionally.
• Today the word "Ebola" carries so much stigma that few ailing individuals even seek diagnosis.

The next Epidemic – Lessons from Ebola
• “All countries could identify trained military resources that would be available for epidemics; in a severe epidemic, the military forces mighthave to work together”
• “The conversation should include military alliances such as NATO which should make epidemic response a priority”
Bill Gates, New England Journal of Medicine, March 19, 2015
